I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I'm going to lou'siana my true love for to see

It rained all night the day

I left the weather it was dry

The sun so hot I froze to death

Susanna don't you cry

Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night

When everything was still

I thought I saw Susanna a coming down the hill

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

Says I I'm coming from the south

Susanna don't you cry

Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee
